**Author Peek** Interview with
Marla Josephs’ BETRAYED Character, Nick!
INTRODUCING…Marla’s BETRAYED (A Reluctant Series Novel) character, Nick.
Karen: What is your name? Do you have a nickname?
Nick: Nick is actually my nickname.
Karen: Who is your best friend? What kinds of things do you do when you’re together?
Nick: Reid Snow is my best friend. What do we do together? Um…well, you know. Burgers, beers, and ball games are always fun. But, I guess I should come up with something more appropriate if you’re going to publish this. Let’s see…we really just like to hang out. Doesn’t really matter what we do.
Karen: If you have a family, how do you get along with them? If you don’t, are there people in your life that you consider family? How do you get along with them?
Nick: I have a wonderful family. My sister, parents, and I are very close. And, we get along very well. I do have extended family that I also get along with very well.
Karen: When you’re angry, what do you do? Where do you go? How do you deal with your anger?
Nick: I have a pouty chair. (laughs) At least that’s what my girlfriend calls it.
Karen: A pouty chair?
Nick: Oh man, this is another one we should leave off the record. But, it’s just a chair I sit in when I’m working things out. It’s in this corner, and it’s a really uncomfortable chair.
Karen: So, why do you sit in it?
Nick: I think it forces me to face whatever it is I need to work out. Especially when I’m angry and I think I’m in the right. It forces me to see it objectively, and most of the time, I’m out of bounds. Does any of this make sense?
Karen: Um…sure. (trying not to laugh.)
Nick: Definitely leave this out. My girlfriend already calls it my pouty chair. I don’t want her to also know that I’m admitting to being in the wrong.
Karen: If you had to make me a meal right now, without going to the store, what would you find in your refrigerator to feed us?
Nick: Not sure. But, probably breakfast foods! I always have fruit, eggs, and usually ingredients for pancakes or crepes.
Karen: What’s the one thing you’re afraid of losing?
Nick: (Looks like he has something in mind, but doesn’t want to say it.)
Karen: What was the first thing that came to mind?
Nick: It’s sort of personal.
Karen: Oh? Well we can move on to the next question if you don’t want to share.
(He nods.)
Karen: What are you most ashamed of in your life?
Nick: (Laughs but with little humor) Uh, I’m not real comfortable with that one either. I take it we’re getting to the personal questions?
Karen: Yes. We are. But, you don’t have to answer anything you don’t want to.
Nick: So, can we just skip the personal questions if I just give you a little information?
Karen: Maybe.
Nick: (cringes a little) I did something a long time ago that really hurt my girlfriend. And, I’m not real proud of that. And, we were apart for a very long time. But, now…well, now she’s given me a second chance. And, I don’t intent to blow it. Is that good enough?
Karen: (smiles and nods her head) How about, what makes you happy? Is that too personal.
Nick: (Grins now) Keeping my woman happy, always makes me happy.
Karen: That’s always a good answer. 🙂

Good morning, Nick and Marla, and welcome to Karen’s Killer Book Bench. It was great meeting you, Nick. Cannot wait to learn more about you and your story on Wednesday.
Thanks for letting Nick steal your interview, Marla. You can let him out of his pouty chair now. 🙂
Thanks Karen for having us. He’s a real sweet guy! And, so many people ask me about him, I figured it was his interview anyway!
Awesome post! I hope to read this soon.
Thanks
Please let me know what you think when you do! I love hearing from readers!
Clever way to introduce the author and book! I enjoyed it, especially the reluctance to reveal personal information. 😉
Thanks, Karen and Marla.
Thanks, Kathleen! I just let Nick answer for himself.
Karen, thanks for bringing “new” authors to our attention
You’re welcome, Yvonne. I enjoy learning about new authors, too. 🙂
